Morgan Hill Lawsuit

The Morgan Hill
Concerned Parents Association and the Concerned Parent Association, have filed
a lawsuit against the California Department of Education (CDE) alleging a
variety of issues with the way special education and other services have been
delivered to students. The suit also alleges that the CDE fails to monitor,
investigate, and correct such non-compliance issues in accordance with the
law. The CDE denies these allegations
and is actively defending the litigation.

As part of the
litigation, the plaintiffs have requested all student data for any child
enrolled in a public school within the state of California at any time since
January 1, 2008. This data includes such information as student name, social
security number, home address, behavior and discipline information, progress
reports, medical and mental health information, and test results. The Court has ordered
CDE to provide this data to the plaintiffs’ and their legal counsel.
